Country Boy

Here is an unusual post for me. I do not associate much with John Denver or Hank Williams Jr. or Johny Cash and I am not an advocate for much of their music. However, they each have a stanza in a song that I do identify with and I thought it would be fun to put them down here together. These excerpts speak to me.

Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm

A raisin me a family and workin on a farm

My days are all filled with an easy country charm

Thank God Im a country boy

I live back in the woods, you see

A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me

I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive

And a country boy can survive

Country folks can survive

Country boy, you got work to do

Country boy, in the morning dew

You gotta plant the seed, you gotta cut the weeds

There's many a row you know you gotta hoe

When it's quittin' time, and your work is through

There's a lot of life in you

Country boy, you lucky thing

Country boy, I wish I was you, and you were me
